Question

Hastottanasana should not be done? A) In severe back pain B) In hernia C) In stomach pain D) All of the above

Answer 1

Hastottanasana improves digestion. It stretches the muscles of the abdomen and rib cage. Hastottanasana consists of two words: Hasta means ‘Arms’ and Uttana means ‘Stretched up’. The regular practice of this yoga is good to overcome back pain. The patient suffering from leg pain should skip performing the yoga pose. This asana should not be performed during a hernia.
